“Dr. Boelk & his staff are by far the BEST at spinal decompression. I walked into his office unable to sit to do my job, where I was having to lay each day, and within a couple of weeks he helped me with being able to sit again. His attention to you & the way he will make you feel is unparalleled.

 

“First of all, he has suffered from some severe back issues, so his empathy is very high. Secondly, he is extremely caring & genuinely wants to help people.

I’ve never worked with a doctor who has cared as much and made me feel like I was his only patient before. There would be four people there at the same time, and he still made me feel this way. I cannot thank him enough & cannot recommend him enough. He is an angel on earth.”

“My name is Lynn. I am from Alaska, and I just want to say it was totally worth taking a trip to go to the Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego. I was having pain radiating down my legs, I couldn’t sleep, I could barely walk.

So, I just want to thank Dr. Boelk and the clinic, you guys are wonderful, and you have created such a wonderful, friendly, kind and truly caring atmosphere. I highly encourage anybody that might be considering spinal decompression therapy, it really makes a difference.”

Why So Many Choose Dr. Boelk for Low Back Pain Relief

Dr. Boelk has dedicated nearly 21 years to treating disc and nerve-related conditions through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) — a safe, research-supported, and non-invasive therapy proven to relieve pain by reducing pressure inside the spinal discs.

 

What makes his approach different?

• Doctor Oversight Every Step of the Way – Each decompression setting, angle, and intensity is tailored and monitored by Dr. Boelk himself.
• Exclusive Use of DRX9000 True Spinal Decompression Machines – The most researched and advanced decompression systems available, used by Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke, and Mayo Clinic.
• Active + Passive Therapy Integration – Gentle decompression to relieve pressure, combined with customized stability and mobility programs to prevent future flare-ups.
• Largest Provider in California – Seven DRX9000 machines on-site and over 75,000 decompression sessions performed.
• Individualized, Doctor-Directed Care – Never “cookie cutter.” Every patient receives a treatment plan designed for their unique spinal condition.

 

“Dr. Boelk is professional and kind. The decompression treatments, exercises, and diet adjustments he recommended diminished my back pain so much that I can sleep again. Chiropractic adjustments did not help my lower back. Decompression did.”
— Steve R.

 

Understanding Why Low Back Pain Happens

Most chronic low back pain comes from spinal disc compression — where years of sitting, injuries, or repetitive motion squeeze the cushioning discs between vertebrae, cutting off circulation and nerve flow.
This leads to pain, stiffness, radiating leg symptoms, and inflammation.

Traditional methods often only focus on surface symptoms.
But to truly correct the problem, the discs themselves must be gently rehydrated and decompressed.

 

That’s what Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression achieves — it creates a negative pressure inside the disc space, allowing oxygen, fluid, and nutrients to flow back in and begin the natural healing process.

 

What You Can Try at Home

While no at-home routine replaces proper treatment, these simple strategies can help reduce stress on your lower back and support faster recovery:

1. Ice Instead of Heat – Use a cold pack over a thin shirt for 15–20 minutes per hour during flare-ups. Avoid applying heat early on, as it can increase inflammation.
2. Gentle Walking – Try short, slow walks two to three times daily. Motion helps pump nutrients into the spinal discs.
3. Modified Hamstring Stretch – Sit tall on the edge of a chair, one leg straightened, toes up. Lean forward slightly until a gentle pull is felt in the back of the leg. Hold 15 seconds, repeat three times per side.
4. Avoid Prolonged Sitting – If you sit for work, use a lumbar support pillow or roll a towel behind your lower back to maintain your spine’s natural curve.
5. Stay Hydrated – Dehydrated discs are more likely to compress and irritate nerves. Drink plenty of water daily.

These are simple ways to reduce pain until a customized program can address the deeper issue.

 

“Dr. Boelk has been a life saver. I had constant lower back and sciatica pain for over 8 months. Pills didn’t help. After decompression treatment, I found relief and now I’m at zero pain. As a firefighter, that means everything.”
— Joshua T.

 

Why Our Results Last

The secret to long-term success is the combination of precision technology and doctor-led customization.
Unlike traction or inversion, true decompression is computer-calibrated to create a gentle negative pressure — not pulling, yanking, or stretching.

Patients don’t just feel better temporarily. They heal.

And because every session includes both passive decompression and active strengthening guidance, results are built to last long after treatment ends.

— Jessica C.
